Chapter 99: Naito's Bow (Part 1)

"It's really amazing! I want to see who is so powerful! Kira Yoshitoki walked over with applause, and when he saw Kira Yoshitoki, the group all bowed down and shouted, "Lord of the Hall!" ”

"Everyone, please get up, my family is just passing by and hearing the movement in the woods to see, this shooter is...... Naito Masari? "Kira Yoshitoki took a closer look, isn't this person the bow general Naito Masanari of Saijo Bei? This gentleman has been taking the archers of his headquarters to practice the gun formation and spear of the ashigaru, so that Kira Yoshitoki once mistakenly thought that all the 800 people of Saijo were ashigaru.

Later, it was Yamamoto Shixing who called Naito Masanari, and briefly introduced his ability to know that there was such a person, although he knew that his archery skills were very powerful, but to what extent he had never seen it when he was right, if he hadn't happened to meet him to perform archery this time, I was afraid that he would still have no chance to see it.

"Zhengcheng's archery skills are so powerful, why doesn't the family know about it at all? Duration! Do you know the archery of Jeongseongjeon? Kira Yoshitoki turned around and asked, and the latter shook his head blankly.

"Stupid! Go back and let me know about the brave warriors in each preparation! ”

"Your Majesty remembered!" Yamaoka suffered another unwarranted disaster, so he could only hide behind him and draw circles with a resentful face.

"Zhengsung's archery is an oversight on the part of our family! My family just watched your archery drill and seems to have the ability to pierce the yang in a hundred steps! Tell me how far you can hit the target? ”

Naito Masari said a little restrainedly: "Your Minister's four-sided bamboo bow can only guarantee a hit within fifty rooms, and if it is farther, the arrow will be attenuated so badly that it will be easily blown away by the wind." ”

"I see! Let's perform fifty archery skills for my family! "Kira Yoshishi had the heart to see where Naito Masasari's limit was, and directly ordered someone to prepare a target fifty miles away, which was originally just an ingredient of an ordinary archery performance, but it was mixed by him into an archery examination school, and the grass deer target was not ready, so he could only pull out the arrow and carry this simple wooden target to continue to use.

Who would have thought that the governor of the Kira family would come over to watch, making a good entertainment taste bad, and everyone also sweated for Naito Masari, on the contrary, Naito Masari didn't seem to be too worried, and carefully examined his square bamboo bow, it can be seen that the bow has been carefully maintained, and the fine workmanship should be from the hands of a famous artist.

"Your Majesty is about to begin!" After Naito Masari saluted Kira Yoshitoki, he began to load the arrow and slowly draw the bow, the direction of the arrow slightly upwards seemed to be different from the previous archery, seeing Kira Yoshitoki's puzzled expression, Yamaoka replied in a low voice: "This is a long-range shooting skill, and non-archery masters can't practice it." ”

"Cut, isn't it just a throw! This family will too! It's just that you can't throw it away! Kira Yoshitoki disagreed, "The English longbowmen practiced throwing shots, and they output sixteen rounds a minute with all their might, which is much faster than his slow and leisurely aiming for arrows. ”

Of course, he doesn't know why, and he doesn't know that the burst speed is not accurate, and it only takes a minute to burst like this, and he can't continue to shoot for a while and a half, how can there be a continuous and stable and accurate shooting that is more stable, the bow and arrow are a tool to kill the opponent from a distance, and the archer who can't kill the enemy is an unqualified archer.

"Bang...... Bang ......" The bowstring waved silently, and one arrow after another came out of his hand and turned into black arcs, flying to the other end of the woods, but after a while, twenty arrows were shot into the air again, and the unlucky samurai on the opposite side ran over with a snort and a target.

"Sure enough, it's all in the middle again! It's almost the same as the target just now, this skill is really strong! Zhengcheng is now in command of the 200 foot light team, right? Train hard to train these two hundred people into a strong bow team, as long as each of them can shoot an arrow target thirty miles away, the family will be satisfied! Kira Yoshitoki once again stood and spoke without backache, and regardless of Naito Masari's expression of secretly wiping cold sweat, he turned around and left with great satisfaction.

After getting the new salt in mid-May, the Ina Tadashi family racked their brains for this matter, and within a few days he made a suggestion to gather this 1,500 stone refined sea salt to establish a salt town storage, and then push it to the market at a high price of Rokkun to test the market's reaction.

In the northern part of the castle town near the lakeside, a new salt town was built as a distribution center for warehousing and trafficking, and the core building of the salt town was naturally the salt house, which was the Kira family's own property, temporarily under the management of Yamamoto Tokiyuki, and the Ina Tadashi family exercised the right of supervision and appointment as a substitute official, and the commissioner was temporarily handed over to the merchant apprentices in the town.

The new salt was sold for five days and the effect was not good, and the ordinary townspeople did not recognize that it was too expensive and did not want to buy it, so Kira Yoshitoki used means to force the merchants of Sakamoto Hong Kong to jointly subscribe for 100 koku of refined sea salt, and promised not to sell it for a month and then buy it back at the original price, relying on this means to barely open the gap in the market, and the next five days sold 100 koku of new salt.

Kira Yoshitoki sent someone to practice Tennoji House Tsuda Sodatsu, and invited Tennoji House to subscribe to a batch of new salt with the Tsushima Ohashi family's sales exemption certificate as a pledge, and Tennoji House was also very happy without saying a word, and directly took out 3,000 kanbun to subscribe for 500 koku of new salt, and at the same time sent the final payment for the carriage, and the order for the carriage was completed by Hida Gonggong a month ago.

Perhaps it was because of these two subscriptions that the sales of new salt were booming, and there was an endless stream of merchants who came and went to buy it, and another hundred koku of new salt were sold in a few days, but the townspeople of Sakamoto Castle still refused to accept the high-priced new salt, and the merchants also held on to the 100 koku of new salt and waited for the return, and many people made jokes when they waited to see Kirayoshi, but they soon couldn't laugh.

A few days later, Tennoji House came again, this time the merchant of the Tsuda family asked how much stock there was as soon as he opened his mouth, and when the Ina Tadashi family reported the figure of seven hundred koku, the other party ate it without hesitation, and asked the Ina Tadashi family if they could sign a contract to supply new salt for the Tennoji House for a long time, and the Ina Tadashi family refused without hesitation, joking about how he could do this kind of thing.

The new salt was sold out in the blink of an eye, and the merchants in Sakamoto didn't know what to do with the new salt in their hands, so they tentatively put it into the market for twenty stones, and were snatched up by the merchants who came to hear the news.

Later, a merchant bought the apprentice of the merchant of Tennoji House, and learned from the other party that the difference between refined sea salt and traditional sea salt is that the traditional sea salt has more impurities and the color of the salt is varied, and the salt that is blue, black and red, and the slightly pure sea salt has many less impurities, and the color is relatively pure, with reddish and slightly green becoming the main color.

If the salt content of traditional sea salt is only about 70%, the new salt will reach 90% and 5, that is, the salt content will be increased by more than one-third, and the good taste of sea salt will be retained, which is immediately praised in Sakai Town.

With the endorsement of the authoritative Tennoji House in Sakai Town, Sakamoto Shioya's new salt immediately became a hot product in the market, although it did not evolve into a hot speculation, but because of the impact of all the new salt in the salt house being sold out, some people still took the new salt they bought to taste it as a gimmick and mixed it into the food and sold it at a high price.

The retail price set by Tennoji House is 6-500 bun, which is two kan more expensive than Tokaido, of course, including the logistics cost, even if there are merchants who bring in new salt from Tokaido, it will not be more cost-effective than this price, ordinary townspeople can't buy much new salt, one bucket of salt is enough for a huge family of ten people to eat for a year, ordinary pickles are of course coarse salt, and no one can be extravagant enough to use new salt pickles.

Sanhe's new salt sells surprisingly well, but he also knows very well that the consumption of salt is far less than grain, one stone of salt is enough for a hundred people to eat for a year, and the total amount of salt that can be consumed in Ki is about 60,000 stones, of which some are pickled vegetables with coarse salt, and the rest is the part of the new salt competition, Sanhe's current new salt production is only 8,000 koku, and the price is high and it is not easy to be digested by Kinai, and it is not necessary to think about it if you want to occupy a larger market share.
